Sick pay is almost always taxable, including third party sick pay, and treated just like any other wages. I believe about the only time it would not be taxable, is if the recipient paid for the sick pay premiums himself and with after-tax dollars. Very rare!! and there is a caveat about the payments received after 6 months of regular sick pay payments.
